In this environment all clients are MSIE.

I don't think this is happening on this case.

Squid is running on Windows Server (2003 and 2008) and it's not an easy
task to compile it. I didn't find any binary distribution after 2.7.
I've been trying to compile it without success although I didn't find
any document saying clearly that 3.1.X versions can be compiled on windows.

I'm still trying. Thanks for your help.
